Well, it depends on the model of Android. If you're modeling it on a Perpetual Energy model, then it wouldn't have a power drain attack.

It's just there's no reason, for example, androids couldn't be built to use stretchy arm attacks or human races can't master an energy-draining attack.

And of course aliens could have just about anything in theory.

I'm saying it could have that. That's the point of customization.
Maybe have a point system for special abilities.
Stuff where stretchy arms and stuff could be allocated but would prevent too many from stacking up.
Some would be species restrictive though. Humans, saiyans and kai wouldn't be able to use stretchy arms.
Androids wouldn't be able to use magic based abilities.
Stuff like that.

...
Now I want to play tabletop Dragon Ball.
That would be insane.

Party consists of four Saiyans and a Dragon Clan Namekian.

First thing the party does is to have the Saiyan party members knock each other out and have the Namekian revive them, and repeat until their stats are best represented with scientific notation.

Hax.

Is there an official name for this, by the way? Disregarding the inaccurate video title.

I would DM said game.
Saiyans would grow at the same general rate as everyone else.
If they turn on their own allies to abuse the near-death thing, without a legitimate reason, well, they'd find out why its called near death.
...
They would die is what I'm saying.

Rule Zero Zenkai into an additive power increase, not multiplicative.

1000 more power sounds awesome until you get to the point that you're working on a baseline in the millions.

I've been toying with ideas for a Dragon Ball TRPG, sadly I haven't actually played any TRPG so what I can come up with is limited by my inadequate understanding of the format >.>

You could read the D&D 3.5 SRD. It's an open-source (and legal) copy of the rules of that game. Since a lot of games have branched off of the D20 system, it might be a good place to start.

I personally prefer Pathfinder. http://www.d20pfsrd.com/

Not much difference, but Pathfinder is a mite bit simplified compared to 3.5

There's an open-source SRD for Pathfinder? I feared they'd stopped doing that with 4th Edition DND!

..oh, duh, Pathfinder's a different company.

But still! Neat.

Rereading the Namek saga, I had forgotten how much Vegeta actually went on about the Super Saiyan thing. It made fun of itself. Seriously.

He's a super saian, you're a super saiyan... I'm a super saiyan! Are there any other super saiyans I should know about?

Frieza killing Vegeta to put the SSJ talk out of its misery was pretty much the same in the original series yeah

...What if there was a Two Saiyans Play of one of the Dragon Ball video games?

Probably some Inception jokes. Or "Stop playing with yourself" or a "Stop hitting yourself"

Well Apule sure was enjoying beating up Vegeta in that one episode, it's not too out of the question.

You wouldn't get a very good one for sticking to pre-Z.
Cough American Dragon Ballmovievideogamecough.

Of course that one's probably terrible.

[up] Wasn't that Bardock he was beating up?

Oh and the DBE game is better than the movie, at least. If only because Yamcha's ultimate is running the opponent over with his car.
